Hey Trovians!
This month’s menu has it all: the Block Party update, a Healthy Food vs. Junk Food showdown, community events, and more!
We’ll take a quick bite out of recent highlights, give you a taste of what’s next, and of course, answer some of your questions along the way. Let’s dig in!
Before we jump into August, let’s take one last look back at July: a month that was all about celebrating Trove’s 10th Anniversary with the Sunfest. It was a party full of events, piñatas, Yabakis, and plenty of memories.
You made it an anniversary to remember, and we can’t thank you enough for being part of it. As a little throwback, we’ve put together an infographic with some of the highlights:
August brought the return of the Elysian Knights to the Hub, and with them came a brand-new challenge: the search for their next hero. Guided by Tauri, Trovians took on a 15-step questline filled with battles, riddles, dungeons, and plenty of surprises along the way.
From earning Sol Sigils to discovering new Allies, Mounts, Wings, and Titles, the Trials pushed Trovians to prove themselves worthy of knighthood.
With the new block feature arriving on PTS, Trovians put their survival skills (and sense of humor) to the test in the Close Call Competition.
The top entries received 5000 Credits, and their moment to shine in a community spotlight!
Thank you to everyone who shared their questions on our Discord! We’ve picked some of the most frequently asked topics and answered them below.
Are there any plans for C5 rings? Since mystic gems are coming.
Yes, Crystal 5 rings are a natural consequence and will come at some point. There aren’t immediate plans for them right now, and they’re still further down the road. In the meantime, the current systems remain important for character progression, so your materials will continue to be put to good use.
Why are player-requested improvements and class reworks consistently delayed in favor of monetization updates?
The Tutorial Update was designed to help new players get into the game more easily. The Trials of Luxion update introduced a new game mode with enemy density like never before. With the Block Party patch, we added a new tier of gems and a feature to make melee classes more competitive with ranged, being our answer to player feedback.
Our updates regularly include ways to ease the progression via the store; we are a free-to-play game, and monetization is necessary to keep the servers and ongoing development running. However, monetization is never the starting point of our design process. Updates are first built around gameplay improvements and new features, while monetization is layered in afterward to support the game’s sustainability.
Can we get more badges for loyalty points?
Yes! Badges are something we’re actively looking into expanding across different parts of the game.
When it comes to loyalty points, we hadn’t planned on adding new badges before, but your feedback made it clear this is something players want. So, we’ll be adding them, including new milestones to make loyalty feel more rewarding along the way.
